Three Decades of Spatial Craft & Tech Arsenal.
"When we capture an object for 3DGS, we are not saving images to be displayed — we are capturing data about how light behaves in a space."
30+ years in specialized photography and immersive visual arts — early adopter of 360° imaging, digital twins and 3D Gaussian Splatting from day one.
Operating from Joensuu Science Park, Finland, I work with international clients on complex spatial challenges — from high-speed WRC motorsport environments to large-scale cultural heritage documentation.
My pipeline runs on dedicated, ultra-high-end Windows Workstations built specifically for heavy 3DGS training — leveraging NVIDIA RTX architecture with massive CUDA core counts and high VRAM to process spatial datasets locally, without relying on cloud servers. For creative finishing, color and edit, I work on Apple Silicon Macs — even though Gaussian Splatting training is not yet a Mac-native workflow, the Apple ecosystem remains unmatched for post-production. The result: uncompromised data security, rapid turnaround, and hyper-real fidelity on impossibly complex geometries.
Alongside spatial media, I have collaborated with some of the world's most iconic brands and artists — producing visual content and aerial cinematography for McDonald's, Red Bull, WRC, UNESCO and Nightwish — and travelled the globe with internationally acclaimed light artist Kari Kola, documenting some of the largest light artworks ever created.

Light works on nature, perception & the night.
Three interactive light art installations exploring biodiversity, the seasons and light pollution — each printed board opens into a 360° portal at .
01Light Art
Ultraviolet Reality
A meditation on pollinators, biodiversity and the hidden ultraviolet patterns of flowers — seen through human and pollinator eyes alike.
02Light Art
The Seasons
A ten-location journey through the changing seasons — printed light boards that open into interactive 360° portals.
03Light Art
360Stories
An art project on light pollution — illuminated landscapes captured in 360°, designed to add no further light to the night.
Manifesto · Modeling Light
We are no longer preserving pixels. We are scanning light itself.
— Rami Saarikorpi · On 3D Gaussian Splatting
ISpherical Harmonics
View-Dependent Light
Every splat knows where the viewer stands — reflections, refractions and shiny metal react naturally as you move through the space.
IIBeyond the polygonal shell
Volumetric Rendering
Smoke, water, thin branches, bicycle spokes and transparent structures — reproduced where traditional 3D scanning has always broken down.
IIIPhotographs as raw data
Radiance Fields
Drone footage and stills become training material. We capture how light behaves in a space — not images to be displayed.
Paradigm Shift
A traditional photograph binds you to a single point in time. A radiance field invites you to walk through it.
Why Not Photogrammetry
Polygonal meshes break on glass, fine branches and reflections. Splats embrace what hard surfaces cannot describe.
